Sometimes parenting feels like a hostage situation. I want to get up early, but what's the odds of that waking the kiddo and something turning into a giant fight? I want to go out as a family, but what's the odds of that turning into a giant fight?

We’ll Never Miss a Flu Shot Again
I typically stay on top of vaccines. But in 2023 we were late with flu shots–a mistake I will never make again.

I truly believe this country would be in much better shape if the general public had this “we must destroy them” attitude about CEOs of companies that do wage theft and mass layoffs-offs instead of consenting adults who got caught violating a corporate fraternization policy.
She's taking responsibility and has been removed from her job. If you heard this story from a friend ("omg I canoodled with my boss at a Coldplay concert last night") rather than seeing it on TikTok you wouldn't feel the need to cast her as some world-historical villain.

AI is coming for what is famously the easiest job on the planet... and absolutely eating shit in the attempt.
We Let AI Run Our Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars.
An AI agent ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish—and taught us lessons about the future of AI.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

You know, speaking as a person in tech, whenever I read posts by a writer or artist being rude about AI I really want to ask them to take a step back, think, and ask themselves “Could I somehow be even meaner?”.
Don’t half-ass this. It is impossible for you to be too negative about AI.

My handsome man is the best, though. His brother is excellent as well, but the ginger menace's idea of cuddling is laying on my feet and attacking them.

Turns out that accidental undereating can cause a chronic illness flare. Who knew?
Everyone. The answer is "everyone."
Fucking processed food will be the death of me.

Such utter bollocks. Thank you, Robin, and I wish you hadn't been put in this position.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

Sometimes some people think our vision is "ahead of what the government is prepared for" whatever that means.
